International trade refers to the exchange of goods and services between countries. It enables nations to obtain products that they do not produce domestically or to acquire them at a lower cost than if produced locally. International trade involves various forms of commerce, including exporting (selling goods and services to other countries) and importing (purchasing goods and services from other countries).
The dynamics of international trade are influenced by factors such as trade agreements, tariffs, trade policies, and exchange rates, which can affect the flow of goods across borders. Countries often engage in trade to leverage their comparative advantages—producing goods more efficiently than other nations—thus maximizing economic output.
International trade is a critical component of globalization, linking economies and cultures worldwide. It impacts employment, economic growth, prices, and consumer choices, while also raising discussions about labor standards, environmental considerations, and trade imbalances. Through mechanisms like international organizations (e.g., the World Trade Organization), nations strive to facilitate and regulate trade practices to promote fair competition and prevent disputes.
